Report Completed Domain Name Sales Here

Venue: Afternic BIN

Note: This domain could indeed have been sold for more if kept longer term, but I discounted some domains to get better cashflow right now.

 

BTW January has started full power for me:



- Venue: Afternic BIN
- Hold time: 10 months, hand reg at drop

There is some additional intriguing story here.

The domain was listed with a low price by accident (my mistake) and then someone tried to lowball me with an $100 offer. I denied, and immediately corrected the price to 2488 everywhere listed. Less than an hour later, sold and paid via BIN.

This is NOT the first time I saw this nasty issue.

I think someone has access to someone else's purchase details and try to snatch the sale from the domain seller. (name was Benjamin(!) yeah, and offer was $100...? then I got via message, the same ol' story that he's a poor student and only has a hundred....? can I be a kind soul and make discount) And he was using a French IP via VPN, but his English was flawless US American...? Man, does this walk like a duck or not.

This has prompted me to an immediate and persistent change:

I've removed all make offer from all marketplaces and set fixed price only, by making the min offer price the same as the BIN price on all domains under 3K. If you are confident in your pricing, that's what you need to do.

I'll never go back to make offer again.

 

its not make offer that is the issue. Its make offer with a super low opening offer that you have no intention of selling at is the problem, congrats on your sale.

 

Thanks! Correct, it was listed like that by mistake. However there are additional problems with make offer.

Someone that sees your domain on Sedo might also visit the domain and offer you half the price if you have make offer there - and you might take it and lose the full sale price. So by having make offer on the lander, you are likely to undercut yourself.

Also, I've seen buyers searching on both Afternic and Sedo and looking for where the price is lower. And the lander as well.

Again if you are confident in your pricing you should set BIN only. I have BIN on Afternic, Sedo and Dan and I prefer to sell retail price only for the ones that are indeed valuable. My price, or feel free to come back later.

Edit: You can spot if you're undercutting yourself, if you deny all make offers and it get bought via BIN at Afternic or Sedo 30 minutes later, and this repeats, then yeah - most likely it was your Afternic/Sedo buyer looking for a better deal.

 

Another one in the can:


Afternic BIN, hold time 2 months.

Hello, thanks for sharing
I also have two questions

01. If you use Afternic to list, Sedo lists and uses Dan's sale page,
Will this bring sales? If you do not use sedo to display the page, there will be no traffic

02.
If you do not use their DNS, please use sedo
How to use their sale page

Thank you God

Overall 2020 was my best year ever in sales

Seems like "Electric" is becoming my favorite/lucky keyword

Last year I sold ElectricCar(.)com for $180K

Ended December 2020 with Six fig sales month.

2021 started with a little bang.

B/e/E/l/e/c/t/r/i/c/./c/o/m for $39995

Purchase Price : $860

Hold Time : 13 Months

Sale type : Direct Bin sale (No Outbound. I never sold anything via Outbound till date)

My humble request to all please do not write name in the comment.

 

Hand Registered $2.99 - May 2020

 

Damn Lucky! thumbs up pal

 

Very nice. Congrats. Portfolio size?...

 

no fancy 6 fig sale for me like our friend above hehehe.. but who does that anyway here.... well..but I did offer operators...io to buyer above for 200 and he took it... 2 renewals makes this just over 100 roi..but.. didnt get any offers..and dont wanna keep renewing an average tho cute keyword like this..

mind u if this went on expired auction on say park.,.,io it would prolly get 300 to 500 bids.. but parkio is bad ref point for any of this...

still may be worth to list some names u do not want on auction on dyna.. tho I do not think somehow yer names there on yer auction get same interest as expired names... I know weird huh

 

nice... but let's all be clear...4l orgs are terrible sellers...avoid in general..yours was just a very exceptional abbreviation thingy with ideal tld for world too... gratulations.

 

Sold my first name with Alter.com

illevia.com - $1099
Hand regged
listed for 2 months. Buyer first inquired in early December 2020.

The process with alter was smooth. The 10% commission sure is a treat compared to their competitors 30% fee.
